04x03 - Can't Stop the Tapes, Side A

This month: Yes, the mix tapes are officially monthly (at least for now)--this month's Side A is just fast, fun, bullshit-free rocknroll, same as usual, featuring easily my personal favourite Bosom Divine song, along with more from Dirty Mouth, The Knits, Old Neighbors, etc.

04x02 - West-Side Highways, Side B

This week's Side B is just a whole lot of goddamn Swearin'! I got to meet up with them (Allison Crutchfield, Kyle Gilbride, returning champion Jeff Bolt, and, although he decided not to join the interview, Keith Spencer) when they came to Vancouver a week or two ago now, and we hung out for a while at the Biltmore before they went on. We talked about how they all met and got started playing music, Bay Area burritos, annoying questions, Batman, and more! Bonus--their full live set (minus the first song they played, unfortunately) is up right after the interview!

04x01 - West-Side Highways, Side A

This week: It's the start of Series 4, so there's some catching up to do first, and then both Sides A and B to get to! (Side A: Spanish rock, punk rock, odd rock, thrash rock; just lots of rocknroll, the usual!)

03x06 - Breaking Bag

This week: The unceremonious and interview-free end of Series 3, featuring (mostly) Stupid Bag Records bands! Jeff Bolt (Swearin', Radiator Hospital, more) is the dude behind Stupid Bag, and he recently sent the podcast some goodies, so this week's tape has some of my favourites in the mix (Dead Dog, Bad Energy, Waxahatchee, and, of course, Radiator Hospital). Get the physical releases and plenty of other Stupid Bag/Radiator Hospital/Swearin' shit at stupidbagrecords.tumblr.com!

03x05 - Screamalia

This week: It's just one special guest after another lately--this week's being Marissa Paternoster of the Screaming Females (also Noun)! I mean, goddamn, regular listeners know I fucking love me some Screaming Females, and they're on tour in the U.S. and Canada right now, so don't fuck up: go see them if you can (no excuses, this tour lasts until the end of September!). The photo(s) below are from their show in Toronto the other day, and the video a bit further below was shot earlier this year, in Chicago.

03x04 - Brick Day

This week: Special guests Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll, also known as Nirvana the Band! Nirvana the Band the Show was a webseries from 2007-09 that the two produced and subsequently gained a lot of attention for; now Jay McCarroll plays in bands such as Singapore, as well as composing film scores, and Matt Johnson's new film The Dirties is being released Oct. 4, and so we met up for lunch and discussed it all.

00x06 - Goddamnit, Albie

This... holy shit, where the fuck did I go? Well, I've got another pile of tapes to unload, and the time to do so again; welcome back. This week: Brand new Aye Nako, way old Death by Nostalgia, and more of the usual suspects to kick off a fresh batch of tapes.

00x05 - Bassmaster

This week: Two bonus tapes on the weekend, apparently! Nah, I actually felt kinda weird just doing a bonus tape of a current band's full album (so BUY Merry Christmas' music, too: here, or here), but I figured another quick bonus tape of an older and lesser-known album would balance the scales. From 1996, it's Salmonblaster's first and only full album (Self-Titled), which you can also download courtesy of the Chatham Music Archives and CHRW 94.9 FM. And Seamus McThirteen on Wednesday!

00x04 - Late, Late, Late!

This week: There was no tape, that's how late it ran! So here's a last-minute bonus, featuring one of Jeff's recommendations from last week's interview. Because that was a damn good recommendation (check out Merry Christmas on PRTYNGG! Records). Next week: Seamus McThirteen of Not Yer Buddy Records!
